Baltimore woman injured by exploding toilet files lawsuit | Fox News

A Baltimore woman has filed a lawsuit over the injuries she claims she suffered when the toilet she was sitting on exploded.
Angela Wright tells Fox 45 she sitting on her toilet in November 2014 when it backed up and she was sent flying. Her home was damaged and she was injured both physically and emotionally, she says.
“I was literally covered in feces,” she told the station. “Are you kidding me? Who wants that?”

The station reports that the sewer lines in Wright's neighborhood were being cleaned out with high pressure hoses at the time.

i have been thinking about this all day because i have one of those inquiring minds that needs to know. how does this happen? how does it work?

did she over do it at the shoney's all you can eat buffet and it was just too much for the infrastructure to handle?

if the city was cleaning out the sewer lines with high pressure hoses in that neighborhood at the time of the explosion as she says, could it be possible that the reason the lines needed cleaned out in the first place was because she regularly over does it at the shoney's all you can eat buffet? where does one's personal responsibility end and somebody else's that you can sue for damages liability begin?

did other toilets in the area also explode at that time when the high pressure hose cleanout process was being conducted? if not, why not?

was it because this toilet was occupied maybe? if the other toilets didn't explode could it be because the gas and pressure could be gradually and constantly released through the open top of the toilet or at least still escape without a buildup of pressure in between the gaps between the lid and the rim if somebody remembered to put the seat down?

if this was the only one occupied at the time of the pressure cleaning, could it be because an airtight seal was formed around the rim of the toilet preventing any pressure to escape? just how big does one need to be to create an airtight seal around the rim of a toilet? even in the front or a gap between the thighs?

i understand that having feces all over you is unpleasant, but hey, it happens to all of us at some point right? right? it's not so bad if it is your own feces i guess. but if it was other people's feces all over you i can see where that might be a bigger problem. did she keep a sample of the feces so she could prove it was also some of her neighbor's poop all over the walls?

i have lots more questions, but i think you get the idea. this is a very interesting case. i hope it makes it to court because i really want to know the answers.
 
I don't see how cleaning the 'city' part of sewers could do that. Here's how I understand such things to happen. :)

EDIT: Unless they were right in front of her house and shot the water directly up her line while also sealing it off so the water couldn't drain back towards the sewer. IOW, it would have to be intentional, imo.

ah so, it was her upstairs neighbor's fault! maybe it was s/he what over did it too much at the shoney's buffet!

i have had movements like that diagram shows, first a round drop, then a big ole long lunker. but i have never had one as tall as from the floor to the top of the tank, that is a dang impressive log! and even if i did i don't think it created a blockage and blew up my downstairs neighbor's throne, or else at least she never said anything about it anyways.

Yeah, we can't rule out explosive diarrhea!

Good luck finding which upstairs neighbor in multi-floor dwellings. And, the initial clog could have also been caused by the victim.

UK asks Internet to name vessel, gets 'Boaty McBoatface' | Fox News

NERC asked for "an inspirational name that exemplifies the work" the ship will do, and suggestions ranged from the, yes, inspirational ("Henry Worsley," the former British Army officer and explorer who died in January trying to cross Antarctica without aid) to the literal ("It's bloody cold out here") and the snarky ("Notthetitanic").
But the current front-runner is "Boaty McBoatface," reports the Independent. The name has garnered 21,000-plus votes, nearly 10 times as many as the second highest "Henry Worsley." The NERC has set April 16 as a deadline and noted that it will choose the name.

My own thoughts are that the selection of the photo was most probably done innocently. Hanging....make joke... use google.... find photo.

The individual who selected it, probably with minimal to no supervision, probably very young as a worker bee, had been given the idea of a phrase, told to search for a hanging picture, and probably had no clue about anything because he/she/it was young and a product of the education system. He/she/it now regrets, in retrospect, having been unkindly clued in, not finding the picture of the last mass hanging and using the plural.

Lol. Even the most soddish snap chatting, instagraming, tweeting teen knows that an actual Texas photo of a hanging black man, surrounded by a mob of white people, is not joke material that should be built into a table top (or purchased--as the case may be), unless that table is custom made for a specific customer. Imo.
 
Man steals BMW he tried to buy with food stamp card, investigators say | Fox News

Authorities in Florida have arrested a man they say stole a BMW after trying to buy it with a food stamp debit card.
However, deputies say the suspect returned the next night and stole the car along with keys from 60 other vehicles.
Deputies say they later found Jackson with the car and the keys after he ran out of gas because he didn't have money to fill the tank.

‘The man in the tree’ mesmerizes Seattle — from 80 feet

He illustrated his point by shouting curse words, throwing pine cones and orange peels at passersby and hurling an apple at medics below. He also requested a pack of Camel Crush cigarettes, KOMO News reported.
The man claimed to be carrying a knife, the Seattle Police Department said in a statement. When asked by a Twitter user whether he was a danger to the public, authorities responded that the “issue appears to be between the man and the tree.”

After 24 hours, 'Tree Man' comes down

Overnight, the man in the tree bared his behind. Someone flew a drone by him. Seattle's self-proclaimed superhero Phoenix Jones stopped by. And, KIRO/7 reports, a woman promised to make out with him if he came down. That almost did the trick.

moons, drones, superheroes, and making out. yep, the more things change the more they stay the same, seattle hasn't changed a bit.

i used to live on 2nd and virginia and that is one of the least weird things you might see downtown.
 
Batman V Superman' star Gal Gadot: Men obsessed with Wonder Woman's breasts | Fox News

But I am definitely pleased with the fact that we are bringing Wonder Woman back to life and I think it is such an important thing for young girls — and boys — to have a strong female role model. The more the merrier and I hope we are starting a trend here.“Ever since I became an actress I said I wanted to show the stronger side of women.

But illustrating the point that Gadot is a trailblazing woman operating in a very blokey world was the internet reaction upon her casting as Wonder Woman. Of all the fantastical aspects of the long-running, beloved character, what was singled out for the most rigorous scrutiny?
Gadot’s boobs, which apparently needed to be bigger.
“You know, men,” Gadot says with a laugh and just hint of exasperation. “Every one of them is obsessed with breasts. Honestly, it amused me. It was funny for me that it’s such an amazing character and all they have to critique is her bust. Me, as a person, I try not to pay too much attention to all the noise that comes when I get cast for something. Even if it’s good or even if it’s bad — because one day it’s good and the other day it’s bad, so I’d rather not pay attention to either.”

i don't see anything wrong with that. i think she will make a great wonder woman.
